(a) Holding Other Office. No elected official shall hold any other elected public office during the period of time such person is serving as an elected City Official. No elected official shall hold any other compensated City office or City employment during the term for which the person was elected to office. No former elected official shall hold any compensated advisory, appointive, or consultative office or employment with the City until one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration of the term for which the person was elected. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the Mayor from designating any current or former elected official to represent the City on the governing board of any regional or other intergovernmental agency so long as said representation is without compensation.

(b) Interference with Administration. Individual members of the Council shall not request or mandate individual City employees to perform tasks for them pertaining to City functions or activities except with the approval of and through the City Manager. Members of the Council may, however, consult directly with the City Clerk and the City Attorney pertaining to the functions of their respective offices. Neither individual members of the Council nor the Mayor shall request or allow City employees to perform for them tasks not related to City functions or activities.

(c) Direct Financial Interest Prohibited. No elected or appointed official shall have any direct financial interest in any contract with the City. (Amended at election held Nov. 2, 1999; amended at election held Nov. 6, 1990)
